I'm determined to make at least one of every level of relic. I'm on HW's relic now.

Once you complete the Bozja relic, you can buy a replica model that doesn't have the glow. I glam that for MCH.

A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they will never sit in.

Bozja: Why does Mikoto care so much about Misija? She kidnapped her, she tortured her. So she has a sad backstory? So do half the people on this stupid planet.

Weirdly, I felt like Mikoto caring about Misija as a friend was better-established than Mikoto having a crush on Cid, though I did skip through the cutscenes for the raids in Stormblood.

Overall, though, yeah, Bozja's writing is really not very good.

It's been fun.

I'm doing the big brain play and have just been skipping most Bozja cutscenes.

You're not really missing out on anything, just various bits of past plot beats being pulled out of the garbage bin, dusted off, and haphazardly thrown in to the mix

I simply cannot imagine ever skipping any cutscene I haven't seen before.

I rather liked Bozja's story. It seems like its not going to continue though which makes it really lame.

[up]x2 I'm trying to grind my weapon and have heard zero good things about the Bozja narrative. Might as well save myself some time.

It's not terrible, but you don't really miss out on much if you do decide to skip it. It's a shame too since the story was apparently written or supervised by the same guy who did the Ivalice games and the Ivalice raids.

Remember, these idiots drive, fuck, and vote. Not always in that order.

I mean, do whatever makes you happy. Me, in a game I play primarily for the story, I'm not going to skip any of the story.

Bozja's was a solid "fine", imo. Not amazing, but hardly awful.

Yeah, while the bit with Misija is a mixed bag, I did enjoy the lore and bios about units. Hell I still felt happy when Bozja was liberated and hope we get some more stories there.

Misija is a real monkey's paw for people who wanted more female Roegadyn in the story

I mean, she was intended to be a likeable well-intentioned villain like Gaius or Varis since that is sort of Matsuno's style and had he succeeded I imagine Roe fans would be happy.

But yeah, it just didn't work, she's not even on the level of Richter from Knights, honestly her backstory is decent and she might have worked better if the raid series had more time and they toned down her more monstrous acts if Matsuno wanted likeable villain.

Well I mean, the insane cackling whenever she summons Gunnhildr really does not help her case at all.

Nor does tempering the Blades and then merging them into horrifying monstrous chimeras.

I do like the concept of a character who basically uses a Primal like a Stand, though, and I'm surprised it hasn't really been done before.

And you know, torturing and experimenting on Mikoto.

I mean, while she does use the Queen as a stand, Misija rarely uses her to fight and just fights with the Throne. The Queen seems to be sort of a cross between a memory and a primal.

I started playing a year ago and picked up DRK around... last October I want to say? Also, I don't think progress is counted for the achievement if it's not at least Level 60 content.

So a while.

Yeah, once again the message of "what if the fascists are actually nice people and Garlean rule is good" falls flat, because then you get into the gameplay and see all the Garlean mad scientists committing horrific human rights violations and torturing people on Gabranth's orders.

It's been fun.

[up]They made the point that Garleans got rid of the cast system and royalty and they don't want said systems to return but that was really all they did.

'We are all equal under oppression lets not go back to inequality in freedom' basically.

I'm sorry, I want to back up a moment. Varis was intended to be likable? Because he really just comes across like an asshole from start to finish.
